28 Weeks Later. It's easy to make a terrifying film when you can borrow the world's most frightening zombies from the original. It handles its own with a chilling plot, though.

Grade: Also scary as fuck

Is it though? I was rooting for the kids to die.

I mean, yeah, [spoiler]they were partially responsible for the death of 15000 people. But Robert Carlyle was scary even if you wanted his targets dead.[/spoiler]

QuoteSons of Anarchy.

It has a Ron Perlman in it. WATCH IT.
I could never get into that one. Or The Wire.

Do you mean airing new episodes right now, or just still running? Because the latter case opens up a lot more good stuff. Game of Thrones, Justified, Mad Men, The Americans, Hell on Wheels, Low Winter Sun, Suits, Hannibal...

Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire are definitely the cream of the current season's crop. I also enjoy Modern Family and American Horror Story: Coven. Parks and Rec is ok, though it's seen better days, as has How I Met Your Mother. The rest of the shows I watch are new ones that haven't quite managed to drive me away yet, wouldn't *recommend* any of them at this point.
Still running is OK too. Yeah, Mad Men and GoT would also be on there.

Not exactly a continuation, but they pick up 28 weeks later in the same world. Different cast, director and writer.

You'll dig it.  It stars the United States Army, going full-auto on Brit civilians.   Just for that, I give it an A+.

So it's better than The French Connection?  God, what is the matter with you?

Yeah I could agree with that.
